Microsoft upgrades smaller Surface devices
Microsoft refreshed its 12-inch Surface Pro and 13-inch Surface Laptop with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 Plus processors. The smaller computers retained last year's designs and other hardware features but gained faster chips and higher prices. Microsoft also introduced a Surface Mouse with haptic feedback alongside the two updated Windows-on-Arm devices.
Why it matters
The refresh brings Microsoft's entry-level Surface range onto Qualcomm's newest Windows-on-Arm platform without a broader redesign.
